8.2.  The tree structure of the transmitter

The /MEDIA node is used by the 

LDC to connect input ports to output ports on different 

layers. Each subnode of /MEDIA is representing a layer, e.g. video (/MEDIA/VIDEO), audio 

(/MEDIA/AUDIO)  or  RS-232  (/MEDIA/UART).  Each  layer  has  a  crosspoint  to  define 

connections between the ports associated with the layer, all of them are represented by a 

specific node. E.g. the video layer node is /MEDIA/VIDEO: under the video layer node, the 

video crosspoint node (XP) and the video ports (I1, I2, …) are located.

The tree structure is available in the Advanced view of LDC, see section 

6.10

 on page

.

8.3.  LW3 commands

8.3.1.  Get command

The ‘GET’ command can be used to get the child nodes, properties and methods of a 

specific node. It can also be used to get the value of a property.

The response format

The first two characters of a response unambiguously identify the type of the element that 

the response line concerns. The first character is the type of the element (node, property or 

method), the second is for miscellaneous information (e.g. read/write rights).
The defined prefixes are:

‘n-’:

node

‘pr’:

property - only readable

‘pw’:

property - writable, readable

‘m-’:

method executable

After the 

prefix, the response contains the full path of the node, property or method after a 

space character.

Get all children of a node

Get all of the child nodes of a parent node, with one GET command.
